The innate destructiveness of the left.

The left acts as an impulsive and rebellious force that legitimizes itself through morality, then it takes advantage of the masses. This passion based morality enables them to question everything that exists outside of them and, because it is rebellious, it seeks to destroy; directly, through revolution, or indirectly, through social reform or societal change. This does not mean that change or reform cannot take place outside of the left and its claims.

This inherently becomes incompatible with millennia of western thought that makes [sic] the west “The West.”[1]

Leftists illustrate one of my favorite Yiddish sayings:

Send a fool to close the window and he'll close them all over town.

As Vergilius Rex points out, leftism is a rebellious force. But, once it successfully achieves one goal, it takes that goal and creates another problem to be solved that is relating to the last problem. Or not.

There is no point at which the leftist says the present is a just and workable thing. No. The leftist, the impulsive and eternal rebel, continues until the result is grotesque. Every healthy plant planted by the ancestors must be ripped out by its roots and the most idiotic, the most unnatural replacement presented as though it were the equivalent of ambrosia and free beer.

Black slavery in America? Abolish it! Then elevate blacks to the point where we have BRA, or Black-Ruled America, as Paul Kersey puts it. Complete with legal discrimination against whites and exactions from whites to finance black pathology, a new slavery. Anathematize whites who object and fawn over every black "leader" and political excrudescence like Black Lives Matter.

Discrimination against women? Again, give women the vote. Then hand them extraordinary legal weapons so that men flee from involvement, marriage and fatherhood lest they experience financial ruin and debasement of their parental rights. Now, too, there must be bare-breasted street marches, simulated abortions in cathedrals, and the abomination that is third-wave feminism with its worship of abortion, its hatred of men, and its hatred of the central institution of society that makes life livable and satisfying.

Address social and legal censure of homosexuality? Terrific. Then ensure that absurd notions of "sexual identify" are made mandatory, young confused children are injected with hormones of the sex that they are not, and provide for male freaks with real or pretend delusions of femaleness to get to use restrooms used by normal females (and to pound female MMA fighters). What could go wrong?

Provide assistance to families in need? Great. Then establish a vast, hugely-expensive mechanism for encouraging and subsidizing male irresponsibility, bastardy, sloth, ignorance, crime, and a rock-solid leftist voting bloc. Just what we need. A permanent tilt in the direction of socialism, irresponsibility, and crime.

Address some of the problems of poverty and disease outside the country? Great! Then throw open the doors of the country and import hostile, parasitic foreigners by the millions to debase the concept of citizenship and sovereignty, lay waste to the culture, and take jobs from citizens.

In this one area alone, leftism ensures not sensible amelioration of problems within sensible limits but wholesale destruction of the nation and its people.

And this does not even address the works of leftists who are not fools on a mission but malevolent and destructive monsters, whose goal is terror and dictatorship of a kind witnessed by millions since 1917.

I'm not sure what the author of the quoted passage thinks must be done. The West is founded on reason, not emotion, he argues and patriots should avoid political debate that is on the left's terms, namely, debate about policy based on emotion and morality (relativism) not reason. What that means in more practical terms I don't know. Just a bit of vagueness there in an otherwise good article.

Nor is compromise with the left an acceptable tactic. The left must be rejected wholesale. It's destruction has been enormous. Something for nothing or theft through the mechanism of the popular vote are just contrary to nature. We are witnessing the death throes of that approach now and, probably, economic collapse will be more forceful and persuasive on the necessity of adhering to fundamentals. Reasonable efforts to debate leftists have been a waste of time. Leftists are not interested in any search for the truth.

From the incomparable Heather McDonald: "The notion that the dominant or exclusive racism in America today is white anti-black racism is absurd. […] The vast bulk of interracial violence is committed by black people. In 2012, blacks committed 560,600 acts of violence against whites, and whites committed 99,403 acts of violence against blacks, according to data from the National Crime Victimisation Survey… Blacks, in other words, committed 85% of the interracial crimes between blacks and whites, even though they are 13 percent of the populatio." Statistics are raaaacist. Facts are raaaacist.

Brinster, Heather is indeed a national treasure. There is a very damaging phenomenon known as "the news cycle." Astonishing matters disappear from media scrutiny, such as it is, after, at most, a week. Obama knew that the issues of where he was on the night that our guys got killed in Benghazi and what decisions he made would evaporate. I'm not sure they had a half life of even 12 hours. That's assuming an absence of malevolent concealment and obfusculation.

Consequently, it takes people like Heather to do the homework and develop the credibility to keep the finger on the raw nerve of certain inconvenient phenomena. The American Spectator did a great job of fingering the nerve of Whitewater, Vince Foster, Travelgate, Filegate, Sexual Predatorgate, etc.

Thankfully, we all know how successful the web and social media have been in wresting the news agenda from the MSM slime.

Thanks for the link, Anon (9:15). I've never been able to claim faith in a Creator but I believe that all unqualified faith in one's own abilities is a formula for personal, social and political destruction.

Reason should be a humbling and limiting force and the progressives have done all that they've done in the name of their limited human sense of what is good. What we are seeing now is the winding down of several centuries of hubris and fatuous human experimentation in defying the laws of nature or nature's God. Human stupidity and intemperance have been facilitated to an extraordinary degree by the fruits of science, technology, capitalism, and free markets. The left -- i.e., stupidity -- has had a long run with its superficial and deceptive claim to be an ameliorating force. As my piece above shows, I hope, that even genuine reforms are perverted by devolution into ever more absurd schemes. Just today I read of moonbats calling for human rights for robots. In normal times I'd say that is a product of The Onion but, now, who can say really.

Anon (12:51), they will go back to sleep and the Marxists won't rest. A boatload of fact- and insight-laden articles on the internet simply have not woken a sufficient number of people up. Only Solzhenitsyn's "pitiless crowbar of events" will do that and by then the eviscerated Constitution will have, as now, preserved no structures to ameliorate the collapse.
